bob Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Boycott the thing.In general? Or because of this year's host?
Ronnie Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Just read up on the host, wow what an idiot, and weirdly obtuse given the event he's hosting!

bob Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I don’t think any Nation that is committing ongoing war-crimes should host it.Agreed. And for this reason, I won't be performing this year. 4
Grazza Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Not sure what I think of the songs this year. Czech Republic stood out for me in Semi Final 1 and, like previous years, I thought Semi Final 2 was a lot better and therefore more unjust. A lot of decent acts didn't get through again. I don't love any so far, but Denmark and Norway stood out. Got a feeling Australia will win and the UK will have to host it!

I've had the Norway song stuck in my head for ages haha! I also liked the Netherlands and Sweden, and the Malta one grew on me after a while. And @Fierce_LiNk loved the San Marino song haha. As for Australia, I loved the staging/act, but the song didn't do too much for me I think. Sad that Belgium didn't get through but then again the song was very weak, oh well. We'll be watching it tomorrow with a take away and some alcohol. Can't wait for the commentary. 1
Sofiz Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I'd love to watch it with commentary, but I don't pay the TV license, so it's plain old live-streaming for me... Excited for the high energy songs, not so excited for all the pro-Israel propaganda however... 1

Fierce_LiNk Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 Looking forward to the final tonight! Didn't realise it was the FA Cup Final today either, so it feels like a double-big day!
bob Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Loving Russia so far. Good song, good performance.Not sure about budget Freddie Mercury on stage right now...
bob Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 San Marino to win! Na na naaaaaaaa.That was so weird. Looked like a kareoke that got out of hand.

Mandalore Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Stumble upon some dodgy bar in Cyberpunk 2077 and you might find that Icelandic band. 1
Grazza Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Czech Republic and Norway for me so far. After seeing Iceland, I'm not so keen on joining EFTA.

bob Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Bald Norwegian was like Vic Reeves singing pub songs from Shooting Stars. 2
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 Oh my god. Estonia! The bit with the storm...dead. NOTHING will ever top that. Anything. Ever. NOTHING.
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 Oh my, the new way of giving out the votes at the end is bruuuutal. "Germany...I'm sorry, zero points."
bob Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 It works so well though! Leaves the tension right till the end

markderoos Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) After losing the semi finals against Spurs and missing out on the CL final by only a few seconds this feels like a nice kiss and make up from Europe. Thank you fellow Europeans! Edited May 18, 2019 by markderoos 2
